Mike's 40th Birthday Weekend!

On Friday, Jenny and I took William, Wade, Violet, and Henry to Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.  On the way, we saw tons of bluebonnets.   The wildflower center was neat but I'm excited to go back when I'm not 8 months pregnant.  
 
The field behind the kids will become filled with bluebonnets.  Unfortunately, there are not any yet!

Playing in the pots of sand!

Wade even dumps out the sand when he is not home.
 
The boys slept the whole way home so they had no desire to take a nap.  I love the boys playing in this little section of our driveway.  I'm sad that it took me so long to think about pulling my car back.
 
The boys got into the chocolate muffins on their own.  They were very proud of themselves.
 
On Saturday night, we met a few friends at Sam's Boat to celebrate Mike's birthday.

Mike's Cake!
 
On Sunday, we went down to the Austin Zoo.  Wade wasn't scared to feed the animals at all.  Now William on the other hand didn't feed any animals.  Ms. Nancy, his teacher at school, said he did feed the animals when the petting zoo came to visit their school.  Maybe he will feed animals in front of us one day too!

After the zoo, we went home to grill steaks and watch the MSU basketball game.  Unfortunately, MSU did not win but at least they made it to the Elite 8!  Then, we spent the rest of the day in the front yard.  It was fun watching all of the cul-de-sac kids playing together!  Hopefully Mike enjoyed his 40th birthday family filled weekend!
 
Wade loved feeding the goats!
 
Both of the boys got hurt toes this weekend while on Nana's watch!  William's 3rd toe is bruised because he hit his toe while running out of the backdoor. 

Wade's second toe is a little swollen because he stepped on a bee while outside and got stung.  It was awful hearing him cry and hold his foot because of the pain.  Because of this mishap, we discovered that the bush in the back is filled with bees and that Wade is not allergic to bee stings just yet.  We will have to be careful though and watch all of our kids because I found out that my dad is actually allergic to bee stings.  Chances are high that one of our kids will also be allergic!
 
On Monday, we spent a beautiful day at the All Abilities Park!
 
They added a water faucet to the sand part!  Needless to say, both of the boys went home in their underwear/ diaper!


 
Started the boys on their "work binders".  My goal is to use these binders during dinner prep time.

Today, Wade had a second set of tubes put in!  He did awesome though.  He didn't cry at all!  The hardest part was not giving him anything to drink or eat this morning.

Why our house is always messy!
